Scarface: Review

Yes it's violent. Yes it's loaded with profanity. Yes it's long, and yes, Al Pacino's performance is wildly over-the-top. But excess is what it's all about: Director Brian De Palma and screenwriter Oliver Stone's remake of the 1933 Howard Hawks gangster classic refuses to back off and creates a seductive, wholly original vision that is both entertaining and shocking.

I was watching The Breakfast ... | Movie News | 3/23/2006

Question: I was watching The Breakfast Club on AMC and noticed scenes that aren't on my commercial tape of the movie. Were these lost scenes that were added in, or were they specially made for television? I've had a similar experience with Billy Madison and always wondered what the deal was.

Answer: The deal is that movies are often aired on broadcast and basic cable television in versions that differ to some degree from the theatrical versions.

In all the great, interesting films, the parts for me were really small, and the only lead par read more

"Welcome to the O.C... er, young miss." Tonight at 8 pm/ET, Fox's The O.C. brings back Marissa's kid sister to stir things up — but really, how much trouble can a 14-going-on-15-year-old get into? After realizing just how young Kaitlin and her portrayer, Willa Holland, are, TVGuide.com scrapped our first question — it was snarky and had to do with Lindsay Lohan's recent exploits — then went on to press the ingenue for details about Kaitlin's agenda and ask about her famous stepdad, Brian De Palma, and "uncle" Steven Spielberg.
TVGuide.com: Like you, Kaitlin is 14. Hellcats are really starting out young these days, huh?
Willa Holland: Yeah!
